Booker appealed his sentence to the 7th Circuit Court on the basis that the trial judge imposing the new sentencing violated his right to a trial by jury. The 7th Circuit affirmed Booker’s conviction and remanded the case for resentencing (United States v. Booker, 375 F.3d 508, (2004); Bloom, 2005). The Department of Justice appealed the 7th Circuit ruling to the Supreme Court,

They claimed that the Supreme Court had engaged their judicial powers to exchange the established laws of government, for their own personal, political and social ideas, therefor, violating the Constitution. Legislators argued against such strong manipulation of jurisdictive power and demanded that the federal government had neither the power or the authority to force state intergration of schools. Furthermore, the exercise of power by a court of law, contrary to an established Constitution, had created chaos, confusion and was destroying the harmonious relations between races in those states effected by the Courts decision, to add, the decision had also replaced the understanding and friendships of people with hatred and suspicion. The fight over the manifesto, remained fierce and that by implementing the Brown decision, the courts would not be allowed to perform the job it was created to do, therefor, being commandeered by the federal government . The authors of this document touched on many nerves, but the main nerve being,that with Brown being implemented, it had shattered the good-natured relations between both white and blacks. Relations that had taken many decades of the enduring determination by respectable people of both races to build. Segregation had become an American way of life in the minds of many in the south, and these customs should not be altered. It’s my opinion, that a majority of southerners had been raised and bred with idealogy of white people were the only true “entitled” race. These entitled were not accustomed to sharing intergrated facilities and would confront this forced intergration by the government with strong

The case is brought to the Supreme Court by the Plaintiff Charles Baker suing Secretary of State of Tennessee Joe Carr, for the failure to redraw the legislative voting boundaries, something that was due over 60 years prior. A law that Tennessee legislature apportioned both houses and provided reapportionment every ten years on the basis of the population reported by the census, but failed to do since 1901. Baker argued that the population had shifted from the rural areas to the urban areas and that he himself was being affected and was being denied his equal protection of the Fourteenth Amendment. He sought to the court that that the state officials should hold an at-large election or they should halt the election process until the

The defendant was convicted of second-degree murder, robbery and conspiracy. His co-defendant Erickson was also convicted.

The court case of the United States v. Morrison seemed to be an unfair case in favor of the men convicted of rape. The United States v. Morrison case was a United States Supreme Court decision, which held that parts of the VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) were unconstitutional because they exceeded congressional power under the Commerce Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment. The USC passed the VAWA that contained a provision (42 USC) that protected victims of gender-based violence, even if no charges had been filed against the criminal. In 1994 at Virginia tech, Christy Brzonkala claimed she was raped by two of her fellow classmates, Antonio Morrison, and James Crawford. During the first hearing of the case, Morrison admitted to having sexual

As it neared one hundred years after the onset of the interstate conflict which centered around slavery’s place in the United States, black citizens were still deprived of the rights guaranteed to all Americans by the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment, prompting the premier civil rights organization, the NAACP, to seek equality through the most logical method, overruling the legal base of the institution. The Brown v. Board ruling in 1954 seemed to be the death knell of segregation wrought by the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson case. Unfortunately the movement of mass resistance proved to be able to out-maneuver law, particularly in the south, thanks to segregationist majorities holding legislative, executive, and law enforcing power. To force the judicially mandated desegregation on reluctant southern states the NAACP focused on universities, as they

In 1964 the average percentage for a black male to get his high school diploma was 14.6% and a white males was 27.6%. In the 1900s most people did not get their high diploma. There were many factors to this: low education, segregation, slavery and racism. Most coloreds were working as slaves from the time they were old enough to and did not have time for education. The Supreme Court had made many decisions that impact education: Brown v. Board of Education, Dred Scott v. Stanford, and Plessy v. Ferguson.

What did the appellate court rule? Did it agree with the trial court (affirm) or disagree (reverse)?

As a result, years later a lawyer from Clarendon county heard about the case of George Stinney. Even though he grew studied law in the area, he had never known about it. He thought it was unbelievable that the trial was not given due process. He convinced a judge to reopen the case and give George a fair trial. This case went to the supreme court where his case was heard and he was exonerated (Hutchins).

The United States was a mix and diverse country but with such diversity comes adversity causing many issues for common people. The African Americans were some of the first people to meet this countries racial brutality but the world had changed and so must the people living in her. The African American community was fighting for their civil rights and hey need all the help they could get and they got it through the courts system, nonviolent actions, and black nationalist groups.

The point of interest case that integrated schools was Brown v. Leading body of Education of Topeka, a 1954 case in which the Supreme Court Justices consistently managed isolation in the government funded schools was unlawful. Boss Justice Earl Warren, in composing the Court feeling, pronounced "separate however equivalent is naturally unequal," in light of the fact that it abuses the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause. This upset the 1896 Supreme Court administering in Plessy v. Ferguson, which held the idea of "partitioned however equivalent" was

After reading these bodies of work, I was left with an overwhelming sense of harsh realities, which are often unnoticed. As a visible minority, of Indian decent and a first generation Canadian, I resonated with these sets of reading because of my lived experienced with being a person of colour. The key concept of unjust treatment of those racialized individuals accompanied with the lack of access of justice kept reappearing as a reoccurring theme. A question that came to my mind while reading these articles: why are these people treated like they just committed murder? I am very fortunate to have grown up where my parents did not face a potential deportation. But as I read through the articles, I learned it is not only about legalities of
